We will also learn the basics of making a filigree ball
 
Topics and demonstrations will include; preparation of fine silver filigree wire, construction of flower frames, filigree soldering, traditional filigree wire shapes, making a filigree bail, making soldering with both powder and paste solder.
 
The workshop is suitable for all levels, but knowing how to solder with a jeweller’s torch would be an asset.
